Im new to the whole skyline thing but not new to cars...

Are their any difference between the door panels or other panels like the boot lid or bonnet on the R32 GTR and the R32 GTS-T?

OR are they exactly the same, and the only difference is in the engine and the 4wd?

And does the RB20DET found in the GTS-t have the same Power potential as RB26DET found in the GTR?

I would love an RB26DET but I want a RWD car so that is why Im going for the GTS-t

have a quick look through the forum mate, will show you all the answers you'd be looking for. and the rb26 is far more better then the rb20. if you wanted RWD...you still could have gotten the GTR, and either bought a torque converter or if its a r32 GTR then just pull the fuse out...easy :D

I havent gotten any car yet, im just wondering what the differences were...

So if I had a R32 GTR I would be able to make it RWD just by taking a fuse out? can you explain this to me in detail, cause i wanna learn as much about the car as I can before I buy one.

Running a GTR in RWD defeats the prupose of owning a GTR IMHO...

Personally id go the GTS-T and with the money saved from not buying an all round "healthy" GTR do an engine conversion. Or to make it appear STOCK a 2.4L stroker or even just a 2.2L, a respray and some suspension work. That would make a fairly respectible street car.

That's how you get a heavy RWD car.

If you want RWD then a GTST will be the way you want to go if you want something well balanced. But yes, the front and rear guards, bonnet and grill as well as body kit/rear spoiler (obvious one) are all different. Using GTR guards will allow for lower offset/wider rims, which means more track, and more grip, and the alloy gtr bonnet is lighter. But all these parts aren't exactly cheap, and you'd only really need to put them on a GTST if you're pretty serious about taking it to the track.

So yes, a GTST with GTR guards and bonnet coupled with an RB26 will be a much better RWD car than a GTR in RDW only mode, and would probably be faster around the track in the dry than a regular GTR. But it's not cheap, you'd be looking at more than the average price of a GTR for a GTST and then this kind of conversion taking into account the rims, brakes and everything too. But IMO it would be worth it for someone who's serious about what they want.

If you've never owned a performance or turbo car before then the RB20DET GTST will be more than enough to have some fun in. GTRs have much more potential, but also heavier and more expensive to maintain/repair. GTRs have aluminium bonnet and front guards, wider rear guards, and different front bar.

Well owning a bmw I dont think the cost could be that bad!

I would rather have the GTR as it has the more power potential, And is there any common problems found in the R32 GTR. I have searched and been reading around the forum for a while now even though its 4 or 5th post

no such thing as rb26det :P it a rb26dett <TWO turbo's not 1

and as for rb20det being able to get same power figures as rb26dett just think that the rb26dett is 1/5th larger in capacity and has 1more turbo i think you would be pushing sh** uphill with a pitchfork getting same power figures

it's not just the extra potential that the rb26, but they have a butt load more power in stock form. the rb20 is the least powerful of the skyline motors. get a gts-t then put a rb25det in it, or get a r33 gts-t. they are a touch heavier (about 50kg) but make up for it by having more power.

i call furphies!

There is a wealth of info around this forum mate :P

Might pay you to search for a little while longer as some of the questions your asking are pretty basic/common knowledge type of questions.

The common RB26 problems are covered in loads of detail in Forced Induction and other areas.

The fuse/RWD is definately covered also :O

You might not get a lot of answers, as people have replied/answered in the past and often wont do it 5 or 6 times.

Good luck with your decision.

If you are looking for a rwd car but like the GTR just buy a GTR. They drive like a rwd car anyway. The ATTESA in R32s isnt as sharp as later kodels and often the 4wd only kicks in when you are already upside dopwn into a wall :P

R32 GTRs drive very much like rwd cars. Drive one and you will be stoked.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
